Speech Trek News, By Ann Arneill

The Speech Trek Committee has completed its recruitment for Elk Grove High School students to compete in the contest and has stimulated significant interest in this year’s topic:  “How can communities, organizations and citizens of all ages help protect and expand voting rights? The contest will be held on Feb.18, 2023.  We hope to conduct it in person at Cosumnes River College, COVID-19 pandemic conditions permitting.

We are now looking forward to the Speech Trek Challenge that will be held via Zoom on Jan. 21, 2023 from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm.  Members will have a chance to discuss the topic in advance of the contest to pique their interest.  There will also be an opportunity to hear from scholarship recipients. Look for the Eventbrite registration announcement that will arrive in your email in mid-December and several times in January 2023.  We hope to see you there for a lively discussion of this important topic!
